Bethesda spoilt open-world RPG fans in the 2000s and 2010s. Players who wanted to travel back to a myth-influenced past full of monsters and magic could play 2006's The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion or 2011's The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Meanwhile, if you preferred a post-apocalyptic future setting where nuclear warfare had wiped out most of humanity, Bethesda had your back too with 2008's Fallout 3 and 2015's Fallout 4 (Obsidian Entertainment also released Fallout: New Vegas in 2010).
Unfortunately, save for the much-maligned Fallout 76, Bethesda hasn't come out with a new The Elder Scrolls or Fallout game since 2015, and fans are growing impatient.
While there's still no word on when Fallout 5 will come out, Todd Howard has confirmed the game is in the pipeline.
The Bethesda Game Studios director and executive producer spoke with IGN at the Xbox-Bethesda showcase where he revealed the studio's plans for Fallout 5. However, you might not want to get your hopes high up. Fallout 5 is not Bethesda's priority at the moment.
